MY RESEACH TOPIC

The research topic I chose was Portraying Human Minds in Film. I choose this topic because it seemed really interesting to see how illnesses are presented in movies and also saying that I have an older cousin who was diagnosed with schizophrenia . My main focus for this paper is the 2001 film A Beautiful Mind. After reading the summary of the film, I thought this would be a good film to use due to the main character having paranoid schizophrenia just as my cousin. It's a topic I can relate to.

Welcome Post !

Hi Class,

My name is Ania Bell. I'm 18 years old. This may sound funny but I actually chose to go into the Criminal Justice field because I really love the TV show Law & Order: SVU. I'm not sure what kind of career I will make out of this major but I do know that I'm studying the right field. I plan to graduate next Spring and further my education at John Jay College. I work at American Eagle Outfitters and my hobbies are playing handball and writing poetry. I do not like to read or write Research papers. The kind of films I'm interested in are mainly comedies, and real action packed films. I'm kind of on the fence when it comes to being optimist about technology. I do believe it's a great thing and it helps us but I also feel that with technology  advancing the way it is their will be no jobs for mankind such as automated phone services, online shopping and online paying bills. I honestly think that most young people are optimistic when it comes to technology. IPhones, Androids and online search engines has made the sky the limit when it comes to information. But for people such as my grandparents tend to see the worst when it come to this topic.
